NFL fixed
#13
In broad sweeping terms, yes, it's fixed, but not the way the majority of conspiracy theory minded people like to think. I don't believe that teams practice to look horrible or that entire teams and coaches are all in it together to throw the entire season into the shitter, but it doesn't require that.
It really only requires a few, very few people who have been compromised by any number of things to inadvertently stumble or miss a catch or tackle or a coach to call a really bad play at the wrong time. Refs aren't by any means immune from becoming targeted by people who have nefarious plans either and then there's the league offices who want the teams who will draw the most fans to the tv or stands playing in the championship games.
It's not rocket science figuring out who's vulnerable.
I believe that the overwhelming majority of players and coaches want to win and succeed because very few would stand to gain by being terrible. One key player, coach or ref who's about to miss their mortgage payments or gets caught with their dick in the wrong place can turn the tide from winning to losing really quick.
In the immortal words of my old man, "Wait'll you get to be my age!"
